A bundle project producing JAX-RS RI bundles. The primary artifact is an "all-in-one" OSGi-fied JAX-RS RI bundle (jaxrs-ri.jar). Attached to that are two compressed JAX-RS RI archives. The first archive (jaxrs-ri.zip) consists of binary RI bits and contains the API jar (under "api" directory), RI libraries (under "lib" directory) as well as all external RI dependencies (under "ext" directory). The secondary archive (jaxrs-ri-src.zip) contains buildable JAX-RS RI source bundle and contains the API jar (under "api" directory), RI sources (under "src" directory) as well as all external RI dependencies (under "ext" directory). The second archive also contains "build.xml" ANT script that builds the RI sources. To build the JAX-RS RI simply unzip the archive, cd to the created jaxrs-ri directory and invoke "ant" from the command line.

There is a newer version: 3.1.9

/**
 * Service-provider interface for creating container instances.
 *
 * If supported by the provider, a container instance of the requested Java type
 * will be created.
 * 
 * The created container is responsible for listening on a communication chanel
 * for new client requests, dispatching these requests to the registered
 * {@link ApplicationHandler Jersey application handler} using the handler's
 * {@link ApplicationHandler#handle(org.glassfish.jersey.server.ContainerRequest)}
 * handle(requestContext)} method and sending the responses provided by the
 * application back to the client.
 * 
 * 
 * A provider shall support a one-to-one mapping between a type, provided the type
 * is not {@link Object}. A provider may also support mapping of sub-types of a type
 * (provided the type is not {@code Object}). It is expected that each provider
 * supports mapping for distinct set of types and subtypes so that different providers
 * do not conflict with each other.
 * 
 * 
 * An implementation can identify itself by placing a Java service provider configuration
 * file (if not already present) - {@code org.glassfish.jersey.server.spi.ContainerProvider}
 * - in the resource directory {@code META-INF/services}, and adding the fully
 * qualified service-provider-class of the implementation in the file.
